The written description wasn't very full, but the photos were clear and thorough and gave a good idea of its condition. It was very reasonably priced for what turned out to be a book in excellent condition. The seller's communication was really good, and the book was sent promptly and in excellent packaging. A+++ seller, would buy again.

Seller was very friendly and communication was excellent, keeping me informed of what stage the delivery was up to. Item was well-packaged & protected. This Seller demonstrates that they love what they do! All costs were very reasonable. I would definitely like to buy from them again in the future. Thank you! 🙂
- u***h (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI had a really great experience with this seller; quick delivery, exactly as described, and great value. I particularly wanted to note that the book I ordered was wrapped very well! Often books are sent in cardboard packaging without any protection from rain or sun; but this book was very securely wrapped in bubble wrap. It is rare to buy from an Ebay seller who cares about such minor details!
